Apart from the obvious hi/light, lo/light & cool to warm, do you keep them together by genus? -- Cheers Wendy Remove PETERPAN for email reply |

I group according to pot size and kind and place broad groups in areas where
light and temp are best. Bt you are probably asking hobbyists with only one or two plants of each grex/species. Once a year prior to spiking, usually in late summer, I try to organize like pot sizes in groups according to grex; next to DPE0001 6" pots Phals are DPE0002 6" pots of Phals, etc. This way i can find things quickly, But it is only a matter of a few weeks before confusion starts "Do have any more of these in 6" pots?" "My database says there are ten 6" pots of this cross but I don't know where they went, give me a minute. Are you in hurry..." I can live with customers carrying plants around and leaving them where ever they find a better one. I don't think I can stop it anyway. It's genetic in your species. What I don't like is having somebody hand me just a tag with the question, "Do you have any more of these?" "Where did you get this?" "Oh, somewhere over there, and also do you have any more of *these*..." I have helper now, once a week, with his own ideas of how to organize, "Don't all the yellows look nice grouped together like this, with the tall ones in the back?" "Next week, *you* get to pack the mail order boxes, Brad." While I have never seen it happen things seem to more around at night while I sleep, (I am considering a spy-cam in there) so that by this time of year I can't find anything any more. I can't even see the print on most of my tags anymore. I have started printing new tags in very large font sizes because neither focal plane of my bi-focals clears up any font below 12.

My orchids in my apartment are organized into 3 distinct groups
Group 1: blooming or spiking orchids Group 2: blooming or spiking orchids that do not fit into the same space as Group 1 + non-blooming orchids + my husband's bay leaf plant that has aspirations of becoming a tree Group 3: non-blooming orchids that do not fit into the same space as Group 2 + a few non-orchid houseplants (which are unlikely to survive in the long run because I can only keep orchids alive). There is also lots of space in the Group 2 area for more orchid acquisitions. And there will be more space for the orchids there as more of the non-orchids don't make it.

Oh, by the way, do you have your pots touching & if so what about the leaves over lapping into the next pot? Also do paphs get crown rot like phals? I shall try this today.........maybe? Yeah, I get that in my fingers from being on this damn computer all day (supposedly it is my real job too). I need a new job, if anybody is looking for a biology (or computational biology) instructor, let me know. Heck, I'd teach freshman biology if I didn't have to program all day. I don't quite know how to explain the way my trays work without pictures. I first inherited this system from EFG, back when they were housing some of my plants. Imagine if you will a standard plant flat. If you have 2.25" SVD (square very deep)pots, there is room for 32 in a flat, with all pots touching eachother. The flats I use have little dividers in them, so that the pots stay upright regardless of how many neighbors they have (barring a sharp blast from the hose). There are similar flat/pot combinations for other size pots (I think 15 4" pots in a flat). I don't like flat bottomed flats (ha!) because they don't keep things from tipping over. Now, for the really small things, I just jam 32 2.25" pots into a flat. Little paph seedlings, minicompots, that kind of thing. When the plants are bigger than the pot (4" leaf spans in 2" pots is not at all uncommon, sometimes 8" ls), then I switch to a different arrangement. I alternate every other position in the 32 cell flat. So now I have 16 plants in a flat. I also try to plant things diagonally in the pot, and arrange everything that way (that is even harder to explain without a picture, imagine a lattice fence,with all the plants arranged on one direction of the lattice). Now this is all well and good for one flat... But when you have two or more flats jammed together, what happens? Well, you just have to make sure that the spacing is alternate, and you end up with one big sea of little seedlings, all spaced out every other cell. It looks like this (if the ascii works). _________________ |x x |x x |x x |x x | | x x| x x| x x| x x| |x x |x x |x x |x x | | x x| x x| x x| x x| |x x |x x |x x |x x | | x x| x x| x x| x x| |x x |x x |x x |x x | | x x| x x| x x| x x| ----------------------- Where that would be four (not to scale) flats, with sixteen plants represented by an 'X' in each of them. Of course you can do very similar things with the other sized pots/flats, and repeat this arrangement for as many flats as you have room for (and can reach with the hose). This arrangement allows for maximal air space between plants (best I can do!), keeps things from falling over (mostly), keeps things organized, and allows me to quickly water plants. Sometimes the tops of the plants obscure the pots, even in this arrangment, so you have still be a little careful, or move these to bigger pots. The only real problem with this system is that it requires square pots. Round pots really don't work well.

If you look at your plants every day and they seem to move by themselves, it
is a sigh of gremlin activity for sure. Unfortunately, gremlins must be accommodated, they can not be dealt with like other 'pests' (and I hesitate use that word least they learn of it and find a way to get even...) Usually I just laugh at their jokes and make some remark into the thin air that they are very clever.... This works most of the time to keep everything copacetic. "You guys are so fast. I didn't even feel you taking my car keys out of my pocket or putting them back after I searched everywhere for them. Jolly good fun. Why don't you stay here and re-arrange my greenhouse.

It really depends on what you want to accomplish and what's easiest for you.
Are you a hobbyist or professional, do you have a handful of Orchids or hundreds/thousands. How big is your greenhouse and do you keep mainly/only Orchids in it or is it used for many different types of plants? You can keep them together by type/specie, size, color or however you like. I personally group mine by growing requirements (shade lovers with shade lovers, cool loving plants with ... etc). As a side note, many of my orchids wind up being grouped by specie since they usually require similar conditions, Paphs with Paphs , Catts with Catts, and so forth. Bob C.
